How to Subtract Fractions
![Page 2: How to Subtract Fractions · 2020. 9. 2. · Subtract Fractions 4 . The minuend 3 is renamed as 2 3/ 3 so that the numerators can be subtracted. This is done by decreasing the whole](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071211/602379e6425e687d184f1ea8/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
This picture shows the minuend, subtrahend, and difference. The difference is what remains when the subtrahend is removed from the minuend.
Subtract Fractions 1

If the minuend and subtrahend have the same denominator, subtract the numerator of the subtrahend from the numerator of the minuend to get the numerator of the difference.
Subtract Fractions 2

The whole number 1 in 1 2/8 is subtracted from the whole number 2 in 2 5/8 for a whole number 1 in the difference. The fractions 5/8 and 2/8 are subtracted for 3/8 in the difference.
Subtract Fractions 3
![Page 5: How to Subtract Fractions · 2020. 9. 2. · Subtract Fractions 4 . The minuend 3 is renamed as 2 3/ 3 so that the numerators can be subtracted. This is done by decreasing the whole](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071211/602379e6425e687d184f1ea8/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Here the the subtrahend numerator in 7/8 is larger than the minuend numerator in 1 5/8. To subtract, the minuend is renamed as 13/8. Now the numerators in 13/8 and 7/8 can be subtracted. The difference 6/8 is renamed in lowest terms as 3/4.
Subtract Fractions 4
![Page 6: How to Subtract Fractions · 2020. 9. 2. · Subtract Fractions 4 . The minuend 3 is renamed as 2 3/ 3 so that the numerators can be subtracted. This is done by decreasing the whole](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071211/602379e6425e687d184f1ea8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The minuend 3 is renamed as 23/3 so that the numerators can be subtracted. This is done by decreasing the whole number 3 by 1 and renaming the 1 as 3/3. 3 = 2+1 = 2 + 3/3 .
Subtract Fractions 5
![Page 7: How to Subtract Fractions · 2020. 9. 2. · Subtract Fractions 4 . The minuend 3 is renamed as 2 3/ 3 so that the numerators can be subtracted. This is done by decreasing the whole](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071211/602379e6425e687d184f1ea8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Here, unlike fractions are renamed with a common denominator. The minuend 3 1/4 is renamed as 3 2/8. Then the whole numbers and numerators are subtracted for a difference of 1 1/8.
Subtract Fractions 6
![Page 8: How to Subtract Fractions · 2020. 9. 2. · Subtract Fractions 4 . The minuend 3 is renamed as 2 3/ 3 so that the numerators can be subtracted. This is done by decreasing the whole](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071211/602379e6425e687d184f1ea8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
3 1/4 is renamed as 3 2/8 to make like fractions. The minuend 3 2/8 is then renamed as 2 10/8 so that the numerators can be subtracted. 3 2/8 = 2 + 1 + 2/8 = 2 + 8/8 + 2/8 = 2 10/8
Subtract Fractions 7
![Page 9: How to Subtract Fractions · 2020. 9. 2. · Subtract Fractions 4 . The minuend 3 is renamed as 2 3/ 3 so that the numerators can be subtracted. This is done by decreasing the whole](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071211/602379e6425e687d184f1ea8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The same example with number lines shows that the minuend 3 1/4 is 5/8 larger than the subtrahend 2 5/8.
Subtract Fractions 8
![Page 10: How to Subtract Fractions · 2020. 9. 2. · Subtract Fractions 4 . The minuend 3 is renamed as 2 3/ 3 so that the numerators can be subtracted. This is done by decreasing the whole](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071211/602379e6425e687d184f1ea8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Decreasing the subtrahend to 2 1/8 from the previous example increased the difference to 1 1/8 . The smaller the subtrahend the larger the difference.
